Default Metal Halide Arc bulbs for home? Crazy?

Eh...ditch the fluorescents and MH's and get *low* pressure sodium. Not
the pinky yellow of most contemporary streetlights (high pressure sodium),
LP sodium give that nice almost monochromatic yellow which you don't see
much of anymore but used to be used for parking lots and some streets.
IIRC more lumens per Watt than anything.
